bit hard to see but you get the idea.
Ah cheers, I reckon it might suck balls with my big chrome clocks and there's no way I'm changing the whole dash (too hard to swap round for the insurance inspector ...). The hunt goes on
Cheers for you efforts though man

Hmm I thought of it but thought it'd look **** without gsxr forks...and with a yellow bike.

My most attainable good look that I've thought of so far would be the firebolt screen but it's expensive, awkward, poor visibility and I'd only drop it.

spot on, I am getting v frustrated lol.
Aye I think I have took too much off as the brake lever sits at an angle coz it's sat on the curve as the throttle would have been off the end otherwise. Balls to it, I'll try it tomorrow and if they're knacked get some new ones.

They were free but I still feel really guilty for rinsing the guys spares. If you look one or 2 pages into the bent banana thread I've got a pic of them. The guy who gave me them said he took an inch off each end for his bandit and it was perfect...attempted to do the same and no having issues lol.
